Introduction

Roll up your sleeves and fire up the oven! International Pizza Cake Day is coming on April 18! You might think we're talking about two different things, but oh no, we're talking about the harmonious culinary fusion of pizza and cake, the pizza cake! This exciting twist on two of our all-time favorite comfort foods originated from Canada, when a kitchen experiment led by Boston Pizza for a promotion turned out to be an unexpected hit! And thus, the Pizza Cake was born. On this delightful day, we come together to celebrate this creative invention in all its gooey, cheesy, layered goodness. So, ready your spatulas and prepare to indulge your taste buds!
